I have a sense that Senator McCain's ultimate pick for vice president is somebody that we're not discussing.
I think Senator Obama will reassure us with his pick. I think Senator McCain is going to surprise us.
One of us will be right. You know what? If I'm wrong, it will be the third time in my life that's ever happened.
It seems to me that Senator Obama's strategy, since early June, has been about reassurance.
I think Barack Obama is having his way this week. I mean, he's got a golden glow.

Senator McCain is the first -- would be the first time -- first person to get elected that's over 70. He has his own hurdles.
I think people that want change in this country, which are an overwhelming number of them, a majority of them are going to vote for Senator Obama.

You know, I've been around politics long enough to know that political fortunes have a way of not being static. And I think both of them are very talented people. And if I had to make any kind of wager, my guess is that they'll continue to…
She's a United States senator with a very high profile, have a very important state. She's got people that support her that the Democratic Party needs, both in a financial sense and in a support sense.
I think both of them are very talented people. And if I had to make any kind of wager, my guess is that they'll continue to have enormous political influence.
